Do you ever worry that you arnt teaching your LO enough?

Dont get me wrong, I am constantly talking, singing, dancing and reading to him and of course playing with him,but sometimes I hear what other kids are doing his age and I am like ohh shoot am I not teaching him enough??
Like for example- My Friends baby knew where her nose, head, eyes and ears were by 13 months, and a couple people over on the 12-24 month board say that their LO's know how to blow their noses, and I just dont forsee my DS being able to do these things in the next month or two.... (Nor have I really thought about teaching DS this... I just figured he was too little)
I know ALL babies learn differently... I just hope he isnt lacking in any areas b/c I am not doing enough?!

Re: Do you ever worry that you arnt teaching your LO enough?
Yes, I do, even though like you said, I spend most of the day reading, playing on the floor with him, doing finger games, naming objects, etc. I think he's perfectly fine most of the time, but it would be a lie to say that when I see another baby doing something that Wes doesn't do yet, it makes me think if I'm doing enough.
FWIW, we do the naming of body parts all the time, and I think right now he could care less, lol. He also refuses to wave, even though we go around all day waving at people and things.
I was in bed last night just thinking how I feel like there is something more I could do. But I do everything you can think of with LO. I feel like I hear or read what other babies can do and start thinking I am not doing enough.
But I have to remind myself he will do it when he is ready.
